Lesson#1
In everyday conversation, Brazilians speak about the future using the verb 'ir' with an infinitive, like 'o trem vai chegar'. But in airports, stations, and news broadcasts, you will hear the formal synthetic future. This tense attaches endings directly to the full verb. In this deck, you will learn to understand these formal public announcements.
Lesson#2
For regular verbs ending in A R, formal announcements form the singular future by adding an accented A to the end of the infinitive. 'Chegar' becomes 'chegará', meaning 'will arrive', and 'começar' becomes 'começará', meaning 'will begin'.
Quiz#3
In a formal announcement, translate into Portuguese: 'The train will arrive shortly.'

O trem chegará em breve

Quiz#4
In a formal announcement, how do you say 'The conference will begin shortly' in Portuguese?

A conferência começará em instantes

Lesson#5
Other regular verbs ending in A R follow this same pattern. 'Fechar' becomes 'fechará', meaning 'will close', and 'falar' becomes 'falará', meaning 'will speak'. For example, 'O museu fechará hoje' means 'The museum will close today'.
Quiz#6
In a formal announcement, translate into Portuguese: 'The museum will close earlier today.'

O museu fechará mais cedo hoje
